Will root for DP at any level. Hope he at least experienced enough of the chaotic joy of being a college freshman that it makes it a not so obvious decision whether he should leave for the league or not. Hope we see him back in Lawrence often at any rate.

I have a better chance at playing at KU next year than DP

Guys you are only fooling yourselves if you think DP is even remotely considering returning. Would I have taken just about another freshman that is on the draft board in hindsight? Yes a thousand times over. But I still think a lot of this isn’t on DP, Self and a bunch of his teammates would’ve called him out if he was faking thru his injuries. It sucked to watch all year not knowing his status. I’m not sure we can chalk it up to anything except crap luck at this point. Will suck to have a number 1 draft pick that we won absolutely nothing with but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

@FarmerJayhawk and you'd probably play more minutes
-
I’ll be rooting for him. He could’ve quit on his team like Mikel Brown and Jayden Quaintance but he didn’t.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Can you hit 3s? We might need you next year!
-
@TYOHawk OR he could of been like Foster from Duke who was busting his ass off coming back under three weeks from a broken foot

My 2cents... but if I'd been Foster's parent, I would have strongly discouraged him from playing. There are injuries that are unrecoverable. I don't know the nature of his injury other than a fracture that was repaired with surgery... But I have a niece who was a track star in high school in Maryland... Winning state races as a Freshman. By the end of Junior year she was done. Overtraining on a foot injury led to bone death in her foot and that was that.
We all saw how long it took Embiid to come back from his foot injuries.
For Foster, it might be a mixed blessing that Duke's season is over and he can let his foot recover without pressure or guilt.

Foster doesn’t have the future that Embiid or Darryn have respectfully in regards to future earnings.
